Compassion's Heart - Poem by Kenneth R. Thompson

Compassion's ear is not too far From us in darkest night; It closely listens to the beat Of hearts afraid with fright. Compassion's mouth is not shut tight When trouble hurts the soul; Compassion speaks to souls that groan Its purpose to console. Compassion's head is never slow To turn to meet our need; It meets the foe that hurts us so With urgency and speed. Compassion's eye is never closed To tears that stain the cheek; Compassion sees the cause of tears And gives the help we seek. Compassion's heart is never cold Or distant in our strife; It beats from God's own pulse with might To lift from death to life!
